'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Opens to $450 Million at Worldwide Box Office

Star Wars is once again proving to be a global sensation as Star Wars: The Last Jedi opened in 54 international markets and earned $230 million overseas in its first weekend.

That international take combined with the $220 million the film made in its first three days domestically brings Star Wars: The Last Jedi's worldwide box office opening weekend total to $450 million, the fifth biggest global debut of all time.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi opened at number one in 50 international markets, including the United Kingdom where it earned $36.7 million.

Globally, Star Wars: The Force Awakens earned $2.1 billion in total and Rogue One earned $1.1 billion.

Domestically, Star Wars: The Last Jedi became only the fourth film in history to earn over $200 million in its opening weekend. The others are Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which earned $247.9 million in its record-breaking opening weekend, Jurassic World with $208.9 million, and Marvel's The Avengers with $207.4 million.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi earned $104.8 million on Friday, which makes it only the second movie in history to earn more than $100 million on its first day. Star Wars: The Force Awakens earned $119 million on its first Friday in 2015.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi earned $45 million in early Thursday night screenings, the second highest preview night gross ever behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which earned $57 million the night before it officially opened.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is easily outpacing last year's Star Wars release, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which was the franchise's first standalone movie. Rogue One opened to $155.1 domestically.
